Chapter 315 Uncle's Family 5
The original Xiaocaoer, who was so hungry that she was drowsy, put the food into her mouth as if she was grabbing a life-saving straw. Even if it was a broad bean, she could chew it in her mouth for half an hour, then mix it with well water and swallow it into her hungry stomach.
Yike's tears also slid silently for the poor original owner - Xiaocaoer.
"Wife, all that is in the past. We will be better and better in the future. Don't cry." Ziyi took out a handkerchief to wipe Yike's tears. Yike was surprised to find that she was actually crying.
"Sister Yike, it's my fault. I made you cry." Xiaohong looked at Yike with her big watery eyes.
"No, I was thinking back to my childhood. I was starving and you secretly gave me a peanut. I put your finger in my mouth and bit it as if it were a peanut. You screamed in pain." "You're so nice. I couldn't bear to eat it myself. I saw you squatting in the corner motionless. I was afraid you were starving to death, so I gave it to you. But you bit your finger and the peanut at the same time. It hurt me so much."
"I was so hungry at the time and was half-grown. I only knew something was put next to my mouth, not that it was my finger."
"Sister Yike, why didn't you tell me that you ran away? You didn't even consider me a good sister anymore. I cried so many times." Xiaohong pouted and said dissatisfiedly, "You have to compensate me. I shed so many tears. You have to compensate me for my tears."
"Okay, how do you want to compensate?"
"To pay for your tears, you cried loudly too. I used a basin to collect your tears. Anyway, I have never seen you cry since you were a child. Oh, you just shed tears. Oh, so you can shed tears now. When your mother beat you when you were a child, I told you to cry until you cried, but you would never cry even if I beat you to death. If you could shed tears at that time, your mother might have beaten you less."
"She's not my mother."
"Oh, that's right, she's not your mother, I almost forgot."
…
The two best friends talked about their past in front of everyone as if no one was around, and in the end it was Ziyi's urging that they ended their reminiscences.
Yike gave Xiaohong several pencils and exercise books, as well as ten hairbands in various colors. Finally, he promised to pick her up to play at his home, and that they should write letters to each other before the unequal treaty was concluded.
When Ziyi drove away with Yike, his cousin, and his sisters-in-law, Xiaohong and Yougui followed the car for a distance.
The villagers got off work, and the women were planning to go to Han Daniu's house to see Yike and her husband, but they only saw the jeep slowly leaving, and from the window they saw Yike and Wang Xiaohua waving to the people behind them.
Xiaohong and Yougui were surrounded by the women and put on trial.
The news that Han Daniu's son and daughter-in-law were taken out by Yike to work, with a monthly salary of 25 yuan and free food and accommodation spread throughout the village like wings.
"Have you heard that the brothers Youfu and Youfu from the Daniu family and their wives were taken away by Yike to work?"
"Of course I know. Yike even drove back to pick her up. We all saw it. Yike married a good man."
"Alas, if we had stopped her and given her a hand when she was beaten by Yang Huaihua, maybe she could have helped us find a job today."
"How can that be possible? Aren't you afraid of being blamed by Yang Huaihua? She's a tough guy."
"Han Dajun is also a man without luck. If he had taken better care of his wife, he would be the one enjoying the good life now."
"Who says it's not true? Yougui said his brother and sister-in-law are paid 25 yuan a month, and they provide food and accommodation. I would do such a good job even if I don't get paid."
"Tsk, who knows if it's true."
"How can it not be true? They even paid me in advance."
“Is this true or false?”
"Of course it's true. Daniel admitted it. It's one hundred dollars. I've never seen so much money in my life."
"Why isn't this my niece?"
"You wish. Even if she is your niece, you are so stingy. How can you bear to give food to Yi Ke? The Daniu family helped Yi Ke a lot when she was a child. If it weren't for his family's help, the grass on Yi Ke's grave would be very tall."
"Yes, I am a grateful person. Now that I am well, I also want to come to help the big guy."
"As a person, you should not be partial to others like Yang Huaihua. So what if she is a girl? Yi Ke is a girl. If a girl is capable, she can help the family. Just look at Yi Ke and you will know."
"You may not know this, but Li Tingting said that women's wages are higher than men's. What did she say? She did more work. As long as she is flexible and quick, she will be paid more than men. Their work is not about strength, and men's hands are not as flexible as women's. By then, even the rich and the blessed may not earn as much as his wife. In this family, it's hard to say who has the final say."
"What's the big deal? As long as you have money, anyone can keep their word. Only by listening to your wife can you have food to eat."
"How come such a good thing didn't happen to my family? My wife is very skillful and can do it very quickly."
"Next time Yi Ke comes, ask if they need anyone else."
"The boss said that you need someone to guarantee you to go. It's a technical job and they're afraid someone will go in and learn it secretly."
"We won't learn it secretly. No, I'm going to talk to Daniu and ask his son to guarantee it."
So, during the time when Yike took my cousin and sister-in-law away, no matter where my uncle and aunt went, there would be people who would compliment them and ask them to help introduce their sons or daughters-in-law to jobs. My uncle and aunt were very proud at first, but they became annoyed after a long time.
Yike and Ziyi were unaware of their uncle and aunt's worries. They drove to the county town and arranged for their cousin and sister-in-law to have dinner at a state-owned restaurant. It was the first time in the lives of Han Youfu and Han Youfu that they had entered a state-owned restaurant. The four of them were both reserved and excited, and entering the restaurant was like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
After dinner, Ziyi drove the few people to the courtyard to rest, and then he drove to Brother Tang's place to see if Brother Tang had bought the things he had helped buy.
As soon as Ziyi left, the eldest cousin asked, "Sister Yike, is this house yours?"
"Yes, eldest cousin, second cousin, two sisters-in-law, please choose a room and rest for yourselves. We will leave in the afternoon, and you won't have a good sleep in the next few days, so hurry up and get a good sleep."
The second cousin wanted to ask something, but the eldest cousin glared at him and he had no choice but to go and rest with his wife.
The eldest cousin's wife entered the room and saw the furnishings in the room and the brand new quilt on the bed. She couldn't help but say, "I really fell into a blessed nest."
After the second cousin's wife walked into the bedroom and touched the soft, new quilt, she said the same thing as the first cousin's wife: "Yike has really fallen into a blessed nest."
